Jasper County tables plan for ‘250 Years’ Independence Day celebration pending price estimates
Summary
Commissioners discussed holding a county Independence Day '250 Years' celebration with fireworks and children’s activities but agreed to table the proposal until cost estimates are obtained; Commissioner Pounds will work with Corey McMichael to get pricing.
During the called meeting on June 12, Commissioners discussed a possible Independence Day '250 Years' celebration that could include fireworks and bounce houses. Commissioner Sheila Pounds raised the proposal; Chairman Bruce Henry said he supports the idea but prefers it be funded by volunteers and donations given the late planning timeline.
Commissioner Rob Alexander said the county would need a definite price before committing funds. Chairman Henry asked Commissioner Pounds to work with Mr. Corey McMichael to obtain pricing. Commissioner Pounds moved to table the item until the board has pricing and more information; Commissioner Steven Ledford seconded and the motion passed unanimously. No funding amount or firm schedule was approved at the meeting.
